All things Nyonya @ Familiar Faces Nyonya Restaurant - Seri Petaling, KL

Since my March 25th visit I have been back another 2-3 times. I thought it the good food I had enjoyed warranted another "revisit" post on my part. This eatery may have a humble look but it majors big-time in taste; the strong, deep-fried, spicy, piquant, tart, sour and hot. Do not go there for Cantonese subtle types. You will be disappointed.

Total Bill for 8: RM128 plus tea.

"Hoi Tai Kai" Fish - Teochew-style. This big-eye and mouth fish has firm and dense meat. Never flaky though. Sour and savoury style match this fish. In fact I had this fish deep-fried and banana leaf BBQed before. The meat stands out and was never overtaken by any of the sauces.
Chicken Fillet with turmeric, curry leaves and onion. Curry leaves interacted well with the turmeric marinated chicken. Onions gave the crunchy feel. Satisfying and filling.

Vegetarian Curry. Since we have fish we did not ask for Fish Head. The aroma and taste were appetising but was not overwhelming.

Paku leaves' chlorophyll and the versatile belacan work hand in glove titillating the palate. Good texture vege with few fibres as it comes from the shoot of the ferns. A safe bet if one do not want a fibrous encounter in vegetables.

Claypot Tofu with needle mushrooms. This subtle in taste dish was an appendage, I reckon. Probably prefer a seafood deep-fried tofu. It's better in the taste and smell department.Omelette to round up the meal.
